Deus Ex: Human Revolution vs Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the game that had literally blown up the Deus Ex franchise, rocketing the series to fame. Seriously, what's not to love about Deus Ex: Human Revolution? The game not only retains but also improved on many aspects that had defined the franchise, from its stealth-heavy gameplay and the amazing arsenal of augments to its choice-driven, moral dilemma-infused, well-crafted and non-linear storyline, but what made this game really stand out is its incredibly immersive, cyberpunk world that is oddly very relatable (despite being set in the future and all) and a dark yet charismatic protagonist (a bit like the Max Payne in the first 2 games) that everyone can truly feel for.As usual, the game's story has many ethically-charged decisions and choices that you'll have to make, which in turn will result in very different outcomes and sometimes, may even trigger a cascade of other events. You can also opt to avoid killing anyone in your gameplay (a full stealth run) or you could simply end every encounter with a blood bath. The best part in this game though is that at the very end, your every decision will affect the overall summary of your character's very being.
It's not at all surprising to see how Deus Ex: Human Revolution has managed to reach out and attract the interest of so many gamers. The game is incredibly well-designed and created and every bit of detail in the game is simply exquisite! If you want to get into the series, this is THE game to buy.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the last chapter where you play as Solid Snake as he pursues his arch nemesis, Liquid Ocelot. Set 5 years after the events in Metal Gear Solid 2. Liquid Ocelot is poised to take control of the world's most powerful AI system, the Sons of the Patriots, and if this happens, all the PMCs worldwide will be in serious trouble.The game has been hailed by many as an epitome of the stealth-based action-adventure game franchise and perhaps one of the greatest games of all time. The gameplay is as epic as ever, and the graphics and sound even more so. The storyline is very well-written and paced as well, giving players the chance to experience a new level of immersion that was previously unheard of.
If you own a PlayStation 3, you might want to give this game a try, especially if you've enjoyed any of the Metal Gear Solid games so far.
